We combine diligence experience with expertise in agentic engineering, search, and distributed systems.

At Bain, Hunter conducted hundreds of expert calls and built agentic tools to accelerate diligence—seeing firsthand how expert sourcing constrained the speed and quality of primary research. Brendan built investor research tooling at Millennium, with a background in search algorithms and distributed systems at Cornell. Together, we’re rebuilding the expert network around the needs of the teams seeking insight and the people who hold it.

A better experience on both sides

We believe an expert network should work better for everyone. Clients should reach people who can answer their specific questions. Experts should receive relevant opportunities, spend less time on screening, and keep more of what their knowledge earns.

By reducing the manual work between them, we create room for better conversations, lower costs for clients, and higher pay for experts. That’s the experience we’re building Thielos around.
